[OpenIndiana-discuss] oi-userland: create a package using only compilation with gcc

[Till Wegmüller]

Hi

Complete custom commands is doable but quite complicated and it may 
break more things than help since we always do custom settings. I do not 
know if this workflow honors the Custom options we set for meson builds.

If possible always use an exising Build tool to make a package. We can 
talk about a BUILD_STYLE muon or updating meson build style to choose 
muon with a second variable once we have muon packaged. Then we can 
package muon with muon in successive versions.

Muon will have to properly apply the changes me made though and with 
meson that was quite some work if I recall.
